Rice flour is gluten free, so good for people with intolerance As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread to give you more ideas.

I bought a bag of rice flour for a specific recipe and now have lots left.

What can I use it for? Can I use it as a regular flour substitute?

I know you lovely peeps will know!

Hi Caroline,

There was a thread on rice flour yesterday that should help so I'll add your post to it to keep the suggestions together.

Definitely shortbread biscuits they are gorgeous when a bit of rice flour is used.

You can thicken sauces with it too, it's alot finer and doesn't go lumpy.

Here's a Bero recipe for shortbread (Highlanders)with ground rice.

It was shortbread that I bought it for...LOL

Thanks for merging. I searched Rice flour (or at least I thought I did!)

I was gifted half a bag of rice flour a few months ago which I put in my freezer as it was a bit past its BBF date and had been opened. I had to take it out of my freezer tonight to make room for something else I need to keep in stock more than the rice flour. Don't want to waste it though so has anyone any ideas or recipes for it please?

You can make shortbread with rice flour, gives it a crunchier texture.

I use a little bit in shortbread, only about 1oz or it makes it too 'gritty'. Other than that I use it to thicken without adding taste to falafel mix or vegetable bahji/pakora type things.
